Professor Michael GreenbergerUSA Today, BBC News - The U.S. government’s secret collection of Americans’ phone records may not breach the Fourth Amendment’s privacy guarantee, legal analysts said Thursday, but it could violate federal surveillance and telecommunication laws. Michael Greenberger, JD, professor at the School of Law and director of the School’s Center for Health and Homeland Security, noted that it’s unclear how the government is using the records it collects. He said that although the collection program may not involve eavesdropping, it could resonate with Americans because it involves records of tens of millions of people with no ties to terrorism. "In some sense, it is more offensive to the American psyche," he said.
